Bird Food Problems?

[dobro]

Are there any currently known problems with commercial bird foods? I’ve fed the birds successfully for years, mostly using Costco’s blends, but for the last few weeks the birds have stopped coming and eating. The last couple of days I switched to pure black oil sunflower seeds but still no action. Any thoughts, WSB hive mind?

For one thing, it’s spring and birds are finding fresher, seasonal food options, including pollen and insects. It’s also mating and nesting season for many species, so many birds are sitting on eggs. My Stellar’s Jays starting fledging about this time last year. It’s probably just as well you stop feeding seed at this time of year, as you’re more likely to be feeding rats than birds.
